Magpie Monday - Light Fantastic

What an icky day. I think the car boot sales are pretty much finished now until next year, although every cloud and all that...it's Jumblie season!! I went to one on Saturday. A proper one, that smelt of wee and everything.

All the clothes I bought for re-purposing are currently in quarantine soaking in Ace, so those will have to wait for another show-and-tell day.

Instead I'll show you something I picked up at a boot sale a few weeks back.

This little vintage paper parasol was £3 and made me do a little yelp when I spotted it.

I knew it would be perfect to suspend from Ruby's very un-aesthetically pleasing spotlights in her room.

It prettifies her ceiling and softens the harsh light. I'm very happy with this find.

Our local Thai restaraunt has about 100 in different colours suspended from the ceiling, it looks beautiful but I don't like to think about what must be sitting inside them - I'm not sure they ever dust!
